From Our Editors |

�@ |
In 40 brief chapters (each of which can
read as a daily devotional), Rick Warren answers the age-old
questions: Why am I here? What is my purpose? Asserting that
our responses to those quandaries must start with God, he
explains how we can achieve fulfillment by enacting His
plan.

Rick Warren helps readers to discover,
develop, and fulfill God's purpose for their lives.
A Groundbreaking Manifesto on the Meaning of Life The
Purpose-Driven Life will help you understand why you are
alive and God's amazing plan for you�Xboth here and now, and
for eternity. Rick Warren will guide you through a personal
40-day spiritual journey that will transform your answer to
life's most important question: What on earth am I here for?
Knowing God's purpose for creating you will reduce your
stress, focus your energy, simplify your decisions, give
meaning to your life, and, most importantly, prepare you for
eternity. This recording offers a blueprint for Christian
living in the 21st century�Xa lifestyle based on God's
eternal purposes, not cultural values. Using over 1,200
scriptural quotes and references, it challenges the
conventional definitions of worship, fellowship,
discipleship, ministry, and evangelism. In the tradition of
Oswald Chambers, Rick Warren offers distilled wisdom on the
essence of what life is all about. Full of hope and
challenge, The Purpose-Driven Life will be a classic
treasured by generations to come.

Publisher's Weekly
Pastor of Saddleback Church, a Southern Baptist mega-church
in southern California with weekly attendance of more than
15,000, Warren now applies his highly successful
"purpose-driven" framework, developed in the best-seller The
Purpose-Driven Church, to individual experience. The same
principles Warren has taught to thousands of pastors to help
churches be healthy and effective can also drive lives, he
says. The book argues that discerning and living five
God-ordained purposes-worship, community, discipleship,
ministry and evangelism-is key to effective living. His 40
short chapters are intended to be read over 40 days' time,
giving readers small pieces of his purpose-discovering
program to chew on. Warren certainly knows his Bible. Of
800-plus footnotes, only 18 don't refer to Christian
Scripture. He deliberately works with 15 different Bible
translations, leaning heavily on contemporary translations
and paraphrases, as an interesting way of plumbing biblical
text. The almost exclusively biblical frame of reference
stakes out the audience niche for this manual for Christian
living. It's practical yet paradoxically abstract, lacking
the kind of real-life examples and stories that
life-application books usually provide in abundance. The
book has flaws editing might have fixed. People are quoted
without being identified, and subheads simply repeat lines
of text, which tends to make the prose sound too simple.
This book is not for all, but for those needing a certain
kind of scriptural rock, it is solid. (Oct.) Forecast:
Warren's The Purpose-Driven Church has sold more than a
million copies for Zondervan, and has spawned a whole
ministry as churches try to implement its principles for
growth. Expect high sales for this long-awaited follow-up,
which has an initial print run of just over 500,000 copies.

I truly believe this book will change America for the
better-- We will be a better people after most people read
this book
Lana Spicer, A reviewer, November 21, 2003,
A fulfilling experience.
This book is for anyone who is seeking a better
understanding of their experience with God. This book is an
example of His wonderful love for us. This book offers an
opportunity to study and learn the Word of God and to
experience a clearer understanding of our purpose in life
through Christ Jesus. This is a blessing that we can all
share and become partners with other believers in learning
that it is all about God and not we ourselves. Thank you, L.

The best book ever written, besides the Bible!
This book is so clear as to God's purpose for us and why we
were born. It is the most uplifing and insightful tool for
you to discover yourself. Forget the self-help books, read
this instead!
